Overdubbed, More Depression, Audio, Koontz

Music CD

Overdubbed by Dub Syndicate. I was listening to ABC Radio online for the first time in a while and a show played one of the songs, Hard & Tuff, from this album. I liked the song and figured I'd try a disc like this out.
I was listening to ABC a few months ago and they played a speech given by a Nobel Prize chemist. The chemist was a great speaker and, among other things, talked about growing up in Minnesota and attending Augsburg College. Since he was was such a compelling speaker I emailed him a note expressing my condolences for his having to attend Augsburg. Go Gusties!
